IT'S FRIDAY THE 30th OF AUGUST

So much going on,  Gordy's funeral coming up.  The girls came on Friday, we sold "Wine on a Stick" my idea and it was fun.  At the Fire Hall as part of Harvest Festival.  I of course put Dot and Nancy to work and Sue and Nancy S. worked also.  Good gathering.
Gordy's funeral Saturday.  Sunday Nancy went to church with me and on Monday Jim hauled the camper out to Leech Lake Recreation Park, it's a Corp of Engineer's campground because there is a dam there.  Very nice campground and it is only an hour from the house.  on Tuesday he brought out the kayak.  I know we went to Walker on Friday for lunch at Walker at Chase on the lake other than that we stayed at the campground.  We got up early and ran Nancy to Dot's house to pick up her car and then we were off to the St Cloud Airport to pick up Dede.  Her flight from AZ came in right on time at 1pm.  Dede had been up at my place before but not up North to ant other towns so we hit Bemidji one day and Itaska State Park one day.  They are such great places to visit.  Dot, dede and had a great week and on Friday they jumped in Dot's car back to Mpls.  Dot and I went kayaking at least 5-6 times.  I broke Dot's windshield, just had to force my will in packing her kayak up.  I am such a twit.  We did make it past 46 bouie's all the way to leech lake and it was fun trying to make It each day.  Nancy couldn't go because of her eye surgery and Dede wasn't interested but we had a good time anyway.
Śharon got there on Friday and we went to a salad luncheon on Saturday at Bethany, I made the same old salad but it is a big favorite of everyone.  The strawberry salad.  We had a good time.  We went to Walker one day and to Itaska State Park one day.  I had a funeral on Tuesday, Sharon went on an adventure to Longville, Hackensack and Walker and when I got back from working the funeral we went to Grand Rapids.  We had some fun dinners over the fire.  I had brought a lot of wood from home and we only bought wood one day.  I think during the 2 weeks and 2 days of camping we fried fish in the cast iron skillet over the open fire 4 times.  It was too fun.  Thanks to Jim for all the fish.
